Take Action and Advocate to include AANHPI History in WA K-12 Curriculum

Make Us Visible, a nationwide effort to include Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) history in school curriculums, is underway. In our state of WA, they are asking for our help to support SB 6314 to require AANHPI history in social studies learning standards by September 2027 and to require the instruction in grades K-12 beginning in the 2028 school year.

Here are some action items you can take to help before March 7th when the legislative session ends:

• Email Senator Lisa Wellman (Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee Chair) and ask her to ensure SB 6314 gets heard during this legislative session.

• Ask your legislators to support SB 6314 and sign on as a co-sponsor.
